Zusammenfassung:In Hirschsprung disease (HD), despite successful surgical treatment, 50% of children experience long-term functional gastrointestinal problems, particularly chronic functional obstructive symptoms. We report our experience regarding clinical effects of neurostimulation-guided anal intrasphincteric botulinum toxin (BT) injections on postoperative obstructive symptoms attributed to a nonrelaxing anal sphincter complex in HD patients.
